Geez! Reading this thread so far just blows me away!! (Most of) you guys are IMPOSSIBLE!!! "I'm going to go buy a Mustang because of a torque gage", "I don't think a performance car needs extra gages", I can't even believe I'm reading this on a CAMARO SITE!!!! After reading these comments I now think the top end Camaro shouldn't be an SS, or Z/28 - it should be a STFU. With a pack of ingrates like this, GM should cancel the car!!! In case any of you geniuses forgot - the car went away in 2002. So now that it's coming back what do (most of) you do? Moan and whine EVERY STEP OF THE WAY!!! ABOUT A GAGE!!! 
All of you complaining so strongly at this point make me sick! I don't want you guys to be Camaro fans - you give the rest of us a bad name........I mean, Camaro means FRIEND and COMRADE....not bitch and moan!

*in style of Allen Iverson* I can't believe what we are here talking about. A gauge. a gauge. A GAUGE? Not actual HP output, but a gauge. GM put all this time into car, spending days and nights trying to bring you a new Camaro. But here we are talking about a gauge. What are we talking about here? a gauge. What are we talking about? A GAUGE. Not curb weight, not overall design, but a gauge. How the hell you gon' base a car purchase on a gauge
I can just see Iverson sitting in front of the press at the auto show saying exactly that, too!

When I had my C5, I was so used to the HUD, I didn't even look at the actual gauges.
I'll take the cool looking placement of these auxillary gauges over the more convenient location near the speedo/tach, especially if their data is backed up on the HUD.
As for all the rest...

100% Agreed. A HUD would/will trump essentially all the gripes posted already, regarding Camaro instrumentation. I absolutely love the HUD on my Prix.

What point are you trying to make?
I'm sorry all that terrible reading is a problem for you Mike got a camaro. I'll try to use smaller words and shorter sentences. Maybe you could follow along if the site had text balloons like your favorite comic book.
Couldn't be more wrong about that one Sparky. I had / have plans to buy two.
And despite your less than witty retort about GM caring about me, they should. In recent history I have purchased more than $100K of their products. My first car was a 1st gen '68 so I'm not automatically turned off by the "heritage" features of the new car. I bought my other Camaros brand new with no second thoughts going in.
Despite all that, this car is not a slam dunk purchase decision for me. They should worry about that, dontcha think?
Thanks for playing though.

I have read through this entire thread, and it is by far the funniest thing I have read today.
Im sorry I had to resort to name calling and talking ****e. BUT, I mean seriously, I havent even decided anything, because I KNOW that things change when they go into production, and I also know that I am never going to find a car that makes me 100% happy...maybe 99.9, but its just impossible, but hey...thats why god invented the aftermarket.
I figured you guys would be bitching about the 75 degree handbrake...but a gauge..A GAUGE. Seriously.

As mentioned above, your assertion has been that we can simply order a HUD to compensate for any issue we may have with the dash / instrumentation layout. Correct?
What if the customer doesn't want a HUD for whatever reason? What should that customer do? Do you really think this should be a case of "Sorry. No HUD, no reading the gauges. If you don't like that, I guess this Camaro is not for you." Note that I am not saying GM has done this. I am simply trying to point out the flaw in your logic.
Why should the customer be required to pay extra for a HUD just to get information that for decades has been conveyed through simple gauges? Yes, I am assuming that a HUD will not be standard equipment.
Can you at least acknowledge that not everyone shares your enthusiasm for a HUD and this does not make them abnormal? Note that I am not saying you are abnormal for wanting a HUD.

Are you this much of a douche bag in real life. Seriously, your posts are now just filled with your useless information to try and prove your own point.
I hope I never have to meet you at a meet...oh wait, I wont because you bought a mustang over a gauge.

Why would you hope you never have to meet me at a meet? Whatever that means....
I'd be more than happy to meet you at a meet. What would happen if that were to occur?
